Description

APIs are crucial in the modern market as they allow faster innovation. But have you ever considered your APIs as products for revenue generation? API Analytics for Product Managers takes you through the benefits of efficient researching, strategizing, marketing, and continuously measuring the effectiveness of your APIs to help grow both B2B and B2C SaaS companies. Once you've been introduced to the concept of an API as a product, this fast-paced guide will show you how to establish metrics for activation, retention, engagement, and usage of your API products, as well as metrics to measure the reach and effectiveness of documentation—an often-overlooked aspect of development. Of course, it's not all about the product—as any good product manager knows; you need to understand your customers’ needs, expectations, and satisfaction too. Once you've gathered your data, you’ll need to be able to derive actionable insights from it. This is where the book covers the advanced concepts of leading and lagging metrics, removing bias from the metric-setting process, and bringing metrics together to establish long- and short-term goals. By the end of this book, you'll be perfectly placed to apply product management methodologies to the building and scaling of revenue-generating APIs.

APIs are still an engineering driven interface and very few business folks including PMs understand what's going on. Deepa puts together in good detail the basics and details around how PMs should look at understanding API usage. Well worth a copy on your desk if you are PM working on APIs.

In the ever-evolving landscape of product management, few resources address the niche yet incredibly essential realm of APIs as effectively as "API Analytics for Product Managers." As a seasoned product leader with a penchant for data-driven decision making, I found this book to be both a timely and enlightening read.From the get-go, the premise of considering APIs not just as utilities but as revenue-generating products is compelling. In my experience, the best product decisions are underpinned by robust analytics, and this book serves as a comprehensive guide to transforming the way we perceive, measure, and optimize APIs. Its structured approach, starting from the foundational concept of an API as a product, to the intricacies of API life cycle and maturity, ensures a step-by-step, layered understanding.A standout feature of this book is its emphasis on metrics. While many resources touch upon standard metrics like activation and retention, this book delves deep. The exploration of often-neglected areas like the effectiveness of documentation and the potential pitfalls of vanity metrics is particularly enlightening. The inclusion of leading and lagging metrics provides a holistic view, allowing readers to understand not just the 'what,' but the 'why' behind their API performance.The sections dedicated to walking in the customer's shoes and understanding their expectations resonate deeply. After all, in the realm of product management, empathy is a North Star. Applying user research principles specifically to APIs is a fresh take and is bound to be invaluable for product managers navigating this space.However, perhaps the most powerful takeaway is the book's commitment to honest metrics. In a world overflowing with data, discerning meaningful insights from noise is a formidable challenge. The chapters on keeping metrics honest and decision-making with data are both a cautionary tale and a guide, steering readers away from potential pitfalls and towards impactful, actionable insights.The book's target audience is spot on. Product managers, engineers, and product executives will find immense value in the insights presented, but even those on the peripheries of SaaS businesses can benefit from understanding the pivotal role APIs play in today's tech ecosystem.
